But you do get one very valuable thing — aside from your degree, of course — for the cost of your tuition: your .edu email address.

When it’s not delivering you updates on the haps around campus or the insane amount of homework you have due this week, that baby does double duty as a veritable savings factory.

12 Student Discounts You can Get with your .Edu Email Address

To help you get the most out of your golden years, we’ve compiled this list of sweet student discounts you can score just by using your college email address.

And if you’re reading this after turning the tassel, don’t worry: We won’t tell anyone!

If your old student email address is still active, you can certainly try to get these discounts… even if you haven’t been to a college class in ages.

Some Penny Hoarders have reported successful use of old, but active, college email addresses in signing up for discounted services. This is especially true if you had the discount while you were a student, and simply never unsubscribed.

(Note: This “just keep doing what you’re doing while you’re in college” tactic works with very few things in adulthood. Especially not hangovers.)

That said, some people have also encountered companies that found undisclosed ways to verify whether or not that student email address is still assigned to a legitimate student. We’re looking at you, Amazon Prime!

Either way, if you have a .edu address to your name, you may be entitled to the following 12 discounts.
